Housed
in an elegant aluminum
chassis with a solid
aluminum alloy volume
knob, the DA-10 is
equipped with exclusive
Denon
technologies to deliver
the ultimate music
listening experience.
Featuring state-of-the-
art digital-to-analog
conversion, the DA-10
is
equipped with the
reference class Burr-
Brown PCM-1795 32-bit
high
resolution DAC chip,
which can handle
multiple sampling
frequencies all
the way up to 192 kHz,
and bit depths up to 24
bits. The DA-10 is also
able to decode high
resolution DSD audio
tracks (the type found
on
SACDs), and features
the ability to decode
2.8 and 5.6 MHz DSD
files.

The
elegant carrying case
features a fold-out
design,
with 2 individual
pouches - one for the
DA-10, and another for
your
portable device. The
pouch for your portable
device features a see-
through plastic
membrane that lets you
see and operate your
phone or
music player, and when
folded up and secured
with the supplied
straps,
the case helps protect
against rough handling
and even provides some
weather protection.

Purist
Audiophile Design

Equipped
with the reference
class Burr-Brown PCM-
1795
DAC chip, the DA-10
features premium
audiophile
construction, including
dual master clock
crystals, each
optimized for specific
sampling
frequencies and located
directly adjacent to
the DAC chip on the
audio
board for maximum
jitter reduction. The
digital section
features
asynchronous USB signal
handling for the
highest stability and
sound
quality, and the DA-10
is equipped with
Denon's exclusive AL32
advanced
DSP digital filtering
and noise shaping,
providing the highest
possible
resolution with today's
high definition music
tracks.

There
are individual circuit
cards for the digital
audio
block and the power
supply block, to
prevent inter-stage
interference,
and the D/A converter
section features the
ability to decode the
widest
range of sampling
frequencies (up to 192
kHz) and bit depths (up
to 24
bits).

Compatibil
ity with a Wide Range
of Portable
Devices

The DA-
10 comes with multiple
connection cables for
compatibility with the
widest range of
portable music players
and
smartphones. The USB-30
pin cable is compatible
with many Apple
devices,
including iPod, iPod
touch, iPhone and iPad.
The USB-Lightning cable
is
compatible with newer
Apple devices, such as
iPhone 5 and 6, iPad
Air,
and other models that
are equipped with the
Lighting connector.
There's also a USB-
micro "B" connector for
compatibility with
other
smart devices, and we
also include a 3.5mm-
3.5mm stereo analog
cable for
connection to a
player's headphone
output, and the cable
features L-
shaped plugs for the
most secure connection.

Advanced
Analog Output Stage
with Gain
Adjustment

With
many portable devices,
the internal headphone
amplifier section is
most often designed for
low power consumption,
in
order to extend battery
life. While that's fine
when using ordinary ear
buds, with premium
audiophile headphones,
sonic performance
suffers.
The DA-10 features an
advanced analog output
stage that is equipped
to
handle the widest range
of headphone types,
including premium
audiophile
and studio headphone
models that often
feature low impedance
ratings,
requiring more power
from the output stage.
A side-mounted gain
switch lets you adjust
the output stage's gain
to
precisely match the
needs of your favorite
premium headphones,
including
low impedance models,
and the final analog
audio stage features a
discrete current buffer
circuit for the
ultimate listening
experience.
There's also the option
for fixed output, for
connection to an
external
audio system.

Extended
Battery Life with
Battery Indicator

Featuring
a high capacity 3200
mAh rechargeable
lithium
ion battery, the DA-10
delivers up to 7.5
hours continuous
operation
when connected to your
portable music player
or smartphone via USB.
The
multi-function LED
battery indicator lets
you know the current
battery
charge level at turn-
on. When the battery is
between 50% and 100%,
it
blinks green. When the
battery level drops to
between 20% and 49%,
the
LED blinks orange, and
when the level drops to
below 20%, the LED
changes to red,
indicating it's time to
recharge.
When connected to a
portable player via the
3.5mm port, the battery
life
can be up to 32 hours.
Recharge time can be as
short as 3.5 hours,
when
connected to a USB
charger with 1.5A
output, or 6.5 hours
when connected
to a PC's USB port.

Elegant
and Versatile Carrying
Case

The
supplied carrying case
features an elegant and
stylish design, and
includes dual internal
pouches for the DA-10
and
your portable player or
smartphone. The pouch
that houses your
portable
device features a see-
through plastic
membrane so you can see
and
operate your device
directly, and there are
secure straps to keep
everything in place.
When folded closed, the
carrying case also
provides
protection from rough
handling and even
provides some
protection against
the elements
With Denon's DA-10
portable USB-DAC and
headphone amplifier,
your music
will never sound
better, and you'll be
able to enjoy all the
fidelity
that your premium
headphones can deliver.
